What was the performance?

I mean, that 50-200, was it 4 to 5.6, was it 2.18 throughout the range? What? It is easy to make a small lens at poor performance but if that was a 4 to 5.6 and they then manufacture a 2.8 that is eight times the size of the body ... it's no DSLR killer, that's for sure.

Hilarious!

Frankly that camera looks stupid and like the other fella said, it seems so pointless to shrink the body into a P&S form factor and then require that kind of lens hanging off it! I'd feel such a goon getting that out at a party. That said, the menu and UI looks pretty good.
